3D computer graphics simulation, animation, and rendering systems organize graphics primitives so as to give the user a handle on the complexity required to model reality—a formidable task. To break this difficulty, modern computer graphics should be given to students in the following way: Top-down teaching approach should be used i.e. Or simulation system, the task of representing 3D graphics primitives for manipulation and then passing them off to graphics hardware or to an external system for high-quality rendering is the same, but a high-performance animation system approaches the task differently from Mathematica. Egerton, “Computer Graphics, First Mathematical steps”. The toolkit supports the Programming Guide. Programming Approach, Second Edition”. This way Programming a computer graphics dinosaur for “Jurassic Park” is not different from programming a virtual robot assembling a car. Lecture topics should be delayed in synchronous way after laboratory units. Teachers and students interested in using GLUT in conjunction with a college-level computer graphics class should investigate Angel's textbook Interactive Computer Graphics: A top-down approach with OpenGL [2] that uses GLUT for its OpenGL-based examples programs. The OpenGL UtilityToolkit (GLUT) is a programming interface withANSI C and FORTRAN bindings for writing window system independent OpenGL programs. The instructors at computer graphics schools generally use the programming approach to teach the concepts of the field. 2222—- Steven Harrington, “Computer Graphics, Programming Approach, Second Edition”.
